Team France surprised everyone in the IIHF tournament this season. No one expected them to get out of the Round Robin stage, let alone push for a medal, so when they nearly got to the gold medal game losing by one goal to Japan in the semi-finals people took notice. Things looked good for them to potentially snag a medal against a floundering Finnish club. Unfortunately, the Finns came out and scored halfway through the first period and then again right at the beginning of the second. Edouard, who only had two points in the entire round robin managed to assist Luca Pane halfway through the second period to get France on the board. The Finns had something to say about that, though as they scored again to regain their two goal lead. It was all France in the third period, however, as Luca Pane came right back at them with another goal right after the start of the period. Ninety seconds later, Lavoie set up Xavier Beausoleil for the game tying goal. The two teams fought hard for the rest of the period forcing an overtime period. Unfortunately, Finland was ready and scored right out of the gate to take the Bronze. Edouard had his best game of the tournament, but it was not enough to help push team France to a medal. He intends to keep getting better until he can help the team bring home some well-deserved hardware.
